Two Central Iowa burgers are in the running for the best burger in the state in the Iowa Beef Industry Council and Iowa Cattleman’s Association’s annual competition.

Murph’s Creamery & Grill in Toledo and Moo’s BBQ in Newton have been tabbed as two of the ten finalists.

Nearly seven thousand votes were cast for the best burger. Between now and this fall, three anonymous judges will visit each finalist to determine the ultimate best burger in the state.
